Romans 5:8, NIV
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8, NIV Jesus didn’t die to save the righteous. He offered His life even when we were still sinners. He didn’t wait for us to change for Him to sacrifice Himself. This is how big His love is. He accepted us not because of our deeds and own efforts but because He treasures us for who we are. Jesus Christ already died for you even before you were born. You are already loved even before you realize what love is. So if you feel like nobody wants to be with…

Give yourself the Chance to Change
There is still hope. You can still see changes in your life. All you need to do is give yourself a chance to try and take small steps one at a time. Change won’t happen if you won’t cooperate. No matter how much God wants you to experience new things, still, He will acknowledge your freedom to make decisions. He will move through the things that are happening around you, but He won’t usually intervene against your free will. He will present certain situations that will give you the opportunity to change into a better person, but it’s up to you if you will abide in Him or not. That’s…

Never Rely on your own Thoughts
Humans have limited understanding. We have so much to learn. This is the reason why we should never rely on our thoughts. Just because something is in our minds doesn’t mean it’s the truth. We need to carefully assess them first and align them according to the ways of God. Please do not depend on your own judgment. You need to learn how to weigh things first, and the Holy Spirit can absolutely help you. Seek His wisdom and before you fully believe in your thoughts, filter them first according to God’s principles; only then will you be guided. This is very important simply because your thoughts will affect your…

For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.

You need to put everything that you learned into action. God sees you as righteous if you will obey Him even in seasons when you are in pain or having a hard time. Do it not to honor others or even yourself but do what’s right to glorify God in your life. Remember…

Dear Singles, Let the Season that you are in Lead you to Heal what’s Broken
Having a relationship with someone can’t fully heal the deepest wound in your heart. Their affection and temporary care will somehow serve as a band-aid, but they won’t truly deal with the real issues deep within. The healing that you feel because of someone’s presence is only temporary. This is the reason why you need to go through the process with God alone. You can ask for other people’s help, but please don’t fully depend on your healing journey on them. Because at the end of the day, you are the only one who can face the deepest wounds in your heart. You need to face them with God because…

Acts 27: 25, NIV
So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me. Acts 27:25, NIV Paul was still in bondage when He said these encouraging words. While he and the other prisoners were boarding a ship, they encountered a storm, and sailing had already been dangerous. But even through the storms, God sent His angel to comfort Paul. He received a message that reminded him not to be afraid. And because of this, He gained enough strength to also remind the people who were traveling with them. Even though He went through difficulties, Paul still firmly believed and kept His faith.…
